Step 5Fin
The deep veins should stand out very well. You can paint it, however I quite like the concrete look. There are clear sealants which you can apply for outdoor use which soak into the concrete and give it a better bonded surface. The advantage of all these veins is also more grip, useful on a garden path in the rain!
The slightly brown areas are where rhubarb leaf juice got on it and stained it. I think this looks quite pretty and more natural. This is why sealing them can be a good idea!
If you want to lay paving slabs, dig a hole same shape as leaf and line with sharp sand, bed down the slab by tapping it with a wooden mallet (gently!)

If you want a really big leaf, and I mean big, try Gunnera Mannacata.

Try spraying the leaf with cooking oil before putting the concrete on.
